Appeal No. 95-1959
Application 07/894,128
The average particle size distribution of the
polyethylene grit used corresponds to the average
particle size distribution of the polypropylene grit
used in Example 3 of the instant application.
No density or molecular weight for the polyethylene grit is
set forth in either declaration.
As a starting point in our analysis of the
declarations, we turn to Example 3 at page 9 of the instant
application. In Part A. of Example 3, captioned "Preliminary
Activation" it is recited that, "[i]n a manner similar to that
described in Example 1" particular components were mixed to
obtain a solution containing aluminum and zirconium in an
atomic ratio of 400:1. In Part B. of Example 3, captioned
"Application to Substrate", it is recited that "[i]n a manner
similar to that described in Example 1" the same polypropylene
grits from Example 1 were combined with the solution in the
activation step. The polypropylene grits in Example 1 have an
average particle size distribution of from 0.25mm to 0.5mm.
No description of the density or the molecular weight for the
polypropylene grit is set forth in either the declaration or
in Example 3 of the instant specification. In part C. of
Example 3 of the specification, captioned "Polymerization", it
is recited that "[i]n a manner similar to that described in
